17. Until I entered God’s sanctuary,and considered their latter end.
18. Surely you set them in slippery places.You throw them down to destruction.
19. How they are suddenly destroyed!They are completely swept away with terrors.
20. As a dream when one wakes up,so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
21. For my soul was grieved.I was embittered in my heart.
22. I was so senseless and ignorant.I was a brute beast before you.
23. Nevertheless, I am continually with you.You have held my right hand.
24. You will guide me with your counsel,and afterward receive me to glory.
25. Whom do I have in heaven?There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.
26. My flesh and my heart fails,but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
